Emily Bridges in the Worthing Herald

[chips and gravy]

Does anybody read her column? Seems like a nice young girl & committed fan. She doesn't go out of her way to ruffle feathers though

 

[Beeneys gloves]

Have read it before, doesnt really offer anything different and wouldnt go out of me way to read it again.

I remember Mick Plumb used to write something about the Albion a few years back, blatantly ripped off from other sources though

tedious dross

 

[Rambo]

I read it, not awe inspiring and always a week after the events have happened. She is a true fan though, good on her.

 

[Trotster]

She drives me crazy - i find her column uninteresting and uninspiring - half the time its not even related to the albion and she just prattles on about crap IMHO.

Sorry emily

Yes, but writing it that way means that she never has to worry about missing a deadline - she can just send in one she did a few months ago. Come to think of it, that's exactly what Kilroy did!

 

[bigc]

so she is a female equivalant of Richard Lindfield then?

I went to school with her for years and still see her regularly down the Cricketers in Southwick.

She used to be a season ticketholder but I think she only makes a few games now.

I haven't personally read her column but I know she works full time for the Herald so it's probably just one of her many jobs which she does when she gets some spare time.

She's only been doing it for a few months, maybe last season tops, and it takes a while to get the confidence to start cracking gags and having a go at people. People who try to judge a column in the Worthing/Steyning Herald as if it was a John Sadler-type piece in The Sun really annoy me. She's having a go, and almost certainly getting paid peanuts/nothing for doing it. If nothing else, it'll be good practice for her (if she reads NSC) putting up with a load of ignorant twats slagging her off. Set her up nicely for a career in journalism, both dishing it out and taking it.

My constructive advice to her would be to start taking a few risks, see how far you can go. If you don't go too far one week, you'll never know where the boundaries are - all good in the long run. The bottom line is not many people read it, so it's a perfect place to experiment while not upsetting too many people.

I read it in the Dentist the other day, drivel, but its drivel with potential as she is young and just starting out, so will get more bitter and twisted with her chosen profession as the months go by !!

Still I would rather read her, that Mike 'voice of the albion' Ward anyday.

Meow !!

I understand that her column is one of the many things she has to fit in during the week, alongside court copy, general news and the obligitory council meetings. I'm sure she would rather just go along and enjoy the games rather than have to observe them with a view to writing her column.

At the end of the day, at least she writes it and it gives the club a bit more exposure. I don't see anything of that nature in the papers to the east of the county.

Keep it going Em
